## Notice

The Pilot project that this contract sits within is focused on low carbon heating replacement systems for eight pilot schools. Led by the DfE, the scope of this pilot is to replace existing heating systems (Gas, Coal and Oil) to either Ground or Air Source Heat Pumps and improve school building fabric where necessary to improve thermal efficiency. This pilot presents a valuable opportunity to learn more about alternative greener heating solutions and use the learnings to consider how this can be scaled up to accelerate decarbonisation in the future. Waterton Academy Trust is the contracting authority for these works. This contract is for the Installation element of works to replace the current heating system with a Ground Source Heat Pump at West End Primary Academy.
